Magnus Hagander	184341309e	Today is find-typo-in-old-patches day. Fix wrong cut/paste in ident ... documentation.	17 years ago
Magnus Hagander	a27addbc87	Make it possible to change Kerberos/GSSAPI parameters without restarting ... the postmaster. They are only used in backend processes, so it's just a matter of re-labeling the GUCs.	17 years ago
Tom Lane	ccdb6627ee	Tweak guc.c to allow underscores in the names of custom variable classes, ... and change auto_explain's custom GUC variables to be named auto_explain.xxx not just explain.xxx. Per discussion in connection with the pg_stat_statements patch, it seems like a good idea to have the convention that custom variable classes are named the same as their defining module. Committing separately since this should happen regardless of what happens with pg_stat_statements itself.	17 years ago
Bruce Momjian	511db38ace	Update copyright for 2009.	17 years ago
Tom Lane	df0ea5a1cd	Throw error if a <window definition> references a window that already has a ... frame clause, as appears to be required by the fine print in the SQL spec. Per discussion with Pavel, not doing so risks user confusion.	17 years ago
Tom Lane	26ce4e85a1	Add a WINDOW attribute to CREATE FUNCTION, and teach pg_dump about it, ... so that user-defined window functions are possible. For the moment you'll have to write them in C, for lack of any interface to the WindowObject API in the available PLs, but it's better than no support at all. There was some debate about the best syntax for this. I ended up choosing the "it's an attribute" position --- the other approach will inevitably be more work, and the likely market for user-defined window functions is probably too small to justify it.	17 years ago
Tom Lane	8e8854daa2	Add some basic support for window frame clauses to the window-functions ... patch. This includes the ability to force the frame to cover the whole partition, and the ability to make the frame end exactly on the current row rather than its last ORDER BY peer. Supporting any more of the full SQL frame-clause syntax will require nontrivial hacking on the window aggregate code, so it'll have to wait for 8.5 or beyond.	17 years ago
Tom Lane	2c38b8c715	Fix thinko in documentation of default window frame behavior, ... per Hitoshi Harada.	17 years ago
Tom Lane	95b07bc7f5	Support window functions a la SQL:2008. ... Hitoshi Harada, with some kibitzing from Heikki and Tom.	17 years ago
Tom Lane	ea7d5199e5	Add a new column proiswindow to pg_proc. It doesn't actually do anything ... useful yet, but I'm tired of re-merging this aspect of the window functions patch.	17 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	cae565e503	SQL/MED catalog manipulation facilities ... This doesn't do any remote or external things yet, but it gives modules like plproxy and dblink a standardized and future-proof system for managing their connection information. Martin Pihlak and Peter Eisentraut	17 years ago
Tom Lane	e32014d85d	Add a couple of cross-references to the docs about enum types, per a ... recent gripe that the info is hard to find.	17 years ago
Bruce Momjian	382af3a954	Add "not" to wal journaling text.	17 years ago
Bruce Momjian	fa6116a3da	Clarify documentation that journaling is not required for WAL or data files.	17 years ago
Tom Lane	517ae4039e	Code review for function default parameters patch. Fix numerous problems as ... per recent discussions. In passing this also fixes a couple of bugs in the previous variadic-parameters patch.	17 years ago
Bruce Momjian	cee63eab8d	Update documentation table describing how shared memory is used by ... various facilities.	17 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	a666d28543	Add note that TRUNCATE uses an access exclusive lock. This apparently ... surprised/confused some users.	17 years ago
Alvaro Herrera	5434e46986	Add note to the shared memory sizing table about needing to use page count in ... shared_buffers and wal_buffers, not size in bytes. Per discussion.	17 years ago
Bruce Momjian	7ac5727659	Fix wording of section comparing triggers and rules; old wording as ... confusing.	17 years ago
Bruce Momjian	30c6202a2a	Add documentation that pg_standby sleeps on Win32 because of 'copy' behavior.	17 years ago
Tom Lane	4da65a23e7	Code review for CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW patch. Do things in a saner order to ... result in hopefully-less-confusing error messages when the new definition isn't compatible with the old; minor other cleanup.	17 years ago
Magnus Hagander	5f3724dd7c	Support specifying filename for SSL certificate, key, root certificate store ... and certificate revokation list by using connection parameters or environment variables. Original patch by Mark Woodward, heavily reworked by Alvaro Herrera and Magnus Hagander.	17 years ago
Tom Lane	65e3ea7641	Increase the default value of default_statistics_target from 10 to 100, ... and its maximum value from 1000 to 10000. ALTER TABLE SET STATISTICS similarly now allows a value up to 10000. Per discussion.	17 years ago
Tom Lane	17dc173660	To reduce confusion over whether VACUUM FULL is needed for anti-wraparound ... vacuuming (it's not), say "database-wide VACUUM" instead of "full-database VACUUM" in the relevant hint messages. Also, document the permissions needed to do this. Per today's discussion.	17 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	218b4e8dd8	Append major version number and for libraries soname major version number ... to the gettext domain name, to simplify parallel installations. Also, rename set_text_domain() to pg_bindtextdomain(), because that is what it does.	17 years ago
Bruce Momjian	253fa736b9	Update journaling performance docs based on comments by Michael Renner.	17 years ago
Tom Lane	5932915fef	Add a specific example of parenthesizing when extracting a field of a ... composite column. Might help cut down on future questions...	17 years ago
Magnus Hagander	9edd720050	Clearify how processes are started by autovacuum, and what the effect ... of autovacuum_max_workers parameter is. Per discussion with Alvaro.	17 years ago
Magnus Hagander	bd33aca36e	Add note that autovacuum can use up several times maintenance_work_mem, ... with warning against setting it too high.	17 years ago

Peter Eisentraut	6355e69d1e	Add braces to clarify syntax synopsis	17 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	e3764aa1b1	Small correction	17 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	d653d47f37	typo	17 years ago
Tom Lane	3f936aacc0	Add a "LIKE = typename" clause to CREATE TYPE for base types. This allows ... the basic representational details (typlen, typalign, typbyval, typstorage) to be copied from an existing type rather than listed explicitly in the CREATE TYPE command. The immediate reason for this is to provide a simple solution for add-on modules that want to define types represented as int8, float4, or float8: as of 8.4 the appropriate PASSEDBYVALUE setting is platform-specific and so it's hard for a SQL script to know what to do. This patch fixes the contrib/isn breakage reported by Rushabh Lathia.	17 years ago
Magnus Hagander	5d2a1a41d0	Support regular expressions in pg_ident.conf.	17 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	c3cee16fe8	Add that PL/Java is an implementation of SQL/JRT, and drop claim that ... PL/pgSQL has much to do with SQL/PSM.	17 years ago
Tom Lane	e309739670	Tweak wording of DISCARD ALL description to avoid giving the impression ... that the presented list of equivalent operations is meant to be the primary definition of what it does. Per comment from Guillaume Smet.	17 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	f900afff3e	configure check for docbook2man program, used in the new XML-based man ... page build target. This covers from-source, Debian, and Fedora installation variants.	17 years ago
Tom Lane	1b26b07379	Make DISCARD ALL discard advisory locks, too. Marko Kreen	17 years ago
Tom Lane	8a10096440	information_schema.key_column_usage.position_in_unique_constraint was ... misdocumented as not being implemented. In reality it has worked since the release of 8.2.	17 years ago
Tom Lane	1304f297a4	Remove PGINTERVALSTYLE from the set of special environment variables for ... libpq. As noted by Peter, adding this variable created a risk of unexpected connection failures when talking to older server versions, and since it doesn't do anything you can't do with PGOPTIONS, it doesn't seem really necessary. Removing it does occasion a few extra lines in pg_regress.c, but saving a getenv() call per libpq connection attempt is perhaps worth that anyway.	17 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	0884acbcab	Move FAQ_AIX information to installation instructions. ... The information on why the shared libraries are built the way they are was not relevant to end users and has been made a mailing list archive link in Makefile.shlib.	17 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	a378555501	CLUSTER VERBOSE and corresponding clusterdb --verbose option ... Jim Cox and Peter Eisentraut	17 years ago
Tom Lane	86422cbbfc	Minor copy-editing.	17 years ago
Magnus Hagander	bae2116ac6	Document which GUC settings are enums and not strings, along with a short ... paragraph about what that means.	17 years ago
